Vantaggi
Great backing and support from the company and the management team. EVPs and VPs will get in the trenches with new advisors to help them be as successful as they can be. From interviewing, and speaking with advisors at other companies - AXA by far has one of the most competitive training process and compensation structure. I also love the team dynamic with AXA. Even through everyone wants to be successful and is working to build their own business - everyone is willing to lend a hand to help expand our skills and knowledge by working together. When I was interviewing with several companies, one of the first things that stood out to me with AXA was they had multiple platforms for new advisors to launch from. If we have strong networks, we have tools to become the go-to advisor in those areas. On the other hand, many new professionals do not have a strong market to build from. AXA has another platform for these advisors so we can get in front of potential clients from day one! Overall, I'm so glad this is where I am today and looking forward to seeing where I can go!
Svantaggi
Not about AXA, but about the industry: This is a challenging and rewarding career. We are building a book of business, and have to be willing to put in the hard work and effort from day one to be successful. AXA has all of the tools and resources to help new advisors, but if we do not put in the work and time we can't fault anyone else but ourselves. If we do put in the effort, we can have a very rewarding career with unlimited potential!
